nope ... I'm talking of a completely kernel independent vfs such as it is
now

otherwise I don't see too much use for process specific mounts ... though I
guess there would be security issues I guess ... (you can already allow
some mounting to be done by users ... but I wonder how you could safely
allow arbitrary mounts to be done by users)
